21 Savage a 'Dreamer' who may be victim of ICE vendetta: lawyers

The lawyers battling to save rapper 21 Savage from deportation from the United States appealed Tuesday for compassion, casting him as one of the blameless 1.8 million "Dreamers" -- immigrants brought in illegally as children through no fault of their own. The 26-year old chart-topper -- real name Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph -- was detained in the southern city of Atlanta on Sunday by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents who say he is British and has been living in the US illegally since overstaying his visa until 2006. "Mr Abraham-Joseph, like almost two million of his immigrant child peers, was left without immigration status as a young child with no way to fix his immigration status," his six attorneys said in a joint statement. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://yhoo.it/2SdPbhR via Latest News

Sony trademarks "CinemaWide" display for Xperia XZ4

A report from LetsGoDigital sees a filing made by Sony Mobile with the EU Intellectual Property Office. Sony trademarks the name "CinemaWide" and is classified as ‘Class 9' which is a general class that covers tablets, smartphones, displays, apps for phones, among other things. Despite the general classification, we have a pretty good idea what this trademark could be for. The filing was made on February 4 so it is likely that Sony is going to market its 21:9 ultra wide display for smartphones as CinemaWide.
